Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: SOLVED: path_name fails in file_select Author: jonb1987 Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,21658,21678#msg-21678
OK, I've spotted my blunder. Since i'm doing a copy, the path_name should refer to the copy source path. >From >http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html#files-in-agent-promises: "When we are copying or linking to a file source, it is the search over the remote source that drives the content of a promise " So if I change the file_select body to this, it works like a dream... # Things NOT to match leaf_name => { "yp.conf", "rsnapshot_primary.conf" }; # Assumption: this is for copy, so matching is done for "remote" (copy source) paths path_name => { "$(cf_source)/etc/cron.d/.*", "$(cf_source)/etc/cups/.*" }; file_result => "(!path_name).(!leaf_name)"; } _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
